Review by Mohamed F. El-Hewie

This was the only movie I a have ever watched where people waited in lines to get in and the movie theater assigned guards to check the passes. Among the great movies I watched multiple times in a week, neither the theater was crowded, nor did the guards show up. The saddest aspect in this movie (Jackass) was the pain and disdain displayed by few actors who appeared to be forced to act for living. A terrible fat and unfit actor appeared on the verge of weeping for performing disgusting acts to get paid. Another sick and fat actor sounded detached and incomprehensible as he was forced to get his body mutilated.

It is shocking how a punch of losers with deep pockets could enslave others to perform the most heinous acts. It is even more shocking that a civilized society could sanction such behavior with impunity.

Apparently, the moviemaker guessed quickly that porn is the fastest way to fortune when all taboos are violated. Broken bones, concussion, drinking and swallowing feces, performing explicit sexual acts, with no restraint or sense of decency!! Actors bragged about broken bones, other bragged about being the devils.

There is nothing that the moviemaker spared in terms of exposing the actors to the extremes of danger and humiliation for the sake of easy money and quick enrichment.

Of course there were many funny and innocent or even constructive comical scenes; but the main trend of the movie was the sadistic torture of vulnerable actors for the sake of quick monetary gain.

One might argue that the movie tests the boundary of sanity by enticing others to do the unimaginable. Only few women appeared in the movie and assumed either the role of bystanders or sarcastic witnesses, with the exception of a young girl who pretended to be fondled by her grand father. As such, women abstained from trespassing on the foolishness of few degenerate men.

In comparison to prisons and mental asylums, all actors appeared either in their way to or out such sanctuary institutions.

The movie could offer invaluable uplifting for someone in his way to life-long incarceration, where all limits are violated.
